Kansas Landscape

1937

The sand ground etching signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled lower left is from an edition of 100 prints. This image is umber 101 in the artist's catalog raisonne published by the Spencer Museum of Art.

According to the Museum's comments on the print: 'Federal Art Project print. Sand ground or sandpaper ground is an uncommon intaglio technique in which an artist applies a ground to the plate and impresses it with sandpaper before placing the plate in an acid bath. The result yields tonal passages similar in effect to aquatint.'

Image measures 6.75 x 8.75, sheet is 10 x 13 inches.

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
